Breathwork Workshop with Niels

  • YOGABLOOM Pfluggässlein 1 Basel, BS, 4001 Switzerland (map)

Most of us live in constant survival mode - overwhelmed, tense and disconnected from our true Self. Conscious Connected Breathwork offers a safe and powerful way to shift out of the thinking mind and into the body, where real healing and transformation happen.

Through guided breathing, music and heart-opening support, you can release old emotional patterns, reduce stress and anxiety and reconnect with your inner strength and clarity.

This is not just relaxation - it is inner work that creates real change.

Why Breathwork Works
Breathwork influences all three levels of our being:

Neuroscience
• Calms the Default Mode Network → reduces overthinking
• Creates brainwave shifts for insight and emotional access

Psychology & Emotions
• Releases stored tension, fear and limiting beliefs
• Builds resilience, self-love and inner safety

Physiology
• Activates the parasympathetic nervous system
• Boosts vitality, immune function and quality of sleep

Breathwork gives the body a voice, so the mind can finally rest.
